EVENTS OF THE WEEK

The eclipse Of the sun, though not visible
in the United States gave the northwest a
black Friday but was observed for q few
minutes at sunrise at DartmOor and Tor
quay. The sky was obscured by clouds at
Paris and Vienna. Prof Vogel, OF the
Belgium expedition at KaTjewitZ on the
sVolga, telegraphs that the sky was over
cast, but that the solar protuberances and
chromosphere were observed, although the
servers were successful in their various
stations In obtaining numerous drawings of
the corona and spectrum. The eclipse was
not observed at st. Petersburg owing to the
.clouded sky. At Kiln the sun was also
0bscured, but an aged professor made q
balloon ascension alone, SO as to get above
the clouds and make an observation. As
there had been hitch in the filling OF the

as to it's ability to carry the aeronaut, but

One great trouble in fixing up the ques-
tion of convict labor, is this: 1t requires
so much labor to produce the supplies
needed by the State of Ohio, or any other
State. If these supplies are furnished by
free labor, well and good. But if any
portion of these supplies is furnished by
conyicts, it is very plain that the portion
so furnished takes just that much from
the free labor No matter how you fig
ure it out, it is precisely the same. The
only way to throw the manufacturing in
terests into the hands of free labor is to
stop manufacturing, on the part of the
convicts. 1t is very difficult problem.

The Ironton Register recently published
the statement of an old soldier concern
ing "the last shot" at the battle of Cedar
Creek, and we believe the EX-Rebel Gun
ner who fired the shot resides in Law
renee county. The shot took off a leg
each, for two Union artillerymen. 1t was
stated that after firing this one shot the
Rebel battery lost no time in getting out
of that immediate neighborhood.
This reminds US of a somewhat similar
occurrence, coming under our own observ-
alton in the Spring of 1864, though in this
case there was no serious results besides
few scared Johnnies. We were running
on the little gunboat, "Gen. Thomas"
patrolling the Tennessee river, between
Bridgeport and Decatur, Alabama. The
Rebel Brigadier, Roddy, was Edashing
back and forth, making feeble raids
through that part of the county, and it
was partly to prevent his establishing
ferries on the river. Occasionally we
ton of it, and have an exchange of a few
shots, but the enemy cared little about a
rush with the boat.
One fine day as we were steaming
leisurely up the river, the enemy opened
on US at short short range with three
twelve-pound Napoleons. The gun
farthest away was partly hidden by
brush and we could only see its location
by the smoke issuing from it when fired.
The guns on the boat were worked by
the 10th Indiana Battery-working
tweIve-pound Napoleons. One of our
gunners hal shot put in, and waited.
The pilot kept the boat steadily pointed
toward the Rebel battery, and the gunner
trained his piece as nearly as possible on
the place where the smoke had appeared.
At the next Rebel shot our gunner let
fly, and though it was perhaps largely
'pop-shot," the missile seemed to strike
the Rebel gun near the muZzle, COM
pletely upending it. and making a gen
eral stir of things in that neighborhood.
The Rebel gunners emerged from their
concealment in the brush long enough to
take to their heels, and the other two
guns soon quit firing and got out of that.
1t seemed like a bad place to have guns.
There was danger of getting them broken.
Dy the way, there was quite a number of
those Johnnies that went away from that
immediate neighborhood in good deal
worse state of repair than they were in
when they came.

The ST., Louis Globe-Democrat gave the
following account of a soldiers SNOWFALL
battle:
'In January 1861 while Confederate troops were in
winter quarters at Dalton, Ca, there big
storm, and 10000 soldiers took regularly organized
snowballng. The Georgia and South Carolina troops
took side of small stream and the Tennesseeans
the other. The Tennesseeans formed line of battle,
their drums beating, buges blowing, coors flying
and officers mounted. Every soldier had a knapsack
full of snowballs The Georgians formed and prepar-
ed TO make the attack by crossing the branch. There
were 10000 men each side, and the very
imposing. As soon as the Georgians crossed the
branch they met terrible fusilade from the Tennes-
seeans, who were at home in the snow. The COM
mander of the Tennesseeans captured, but bold
dash made by the Tennesseeans and he
cued The Georgians and South Carolinians, being
unused to snow, at a great disadvantage, and
forced back across the branch. AS the Tennes-
seeans crossed the branch they wet their snowbas
and the next volley fired at the Georgia and South
Carolina boys terrible in its effect. Passing on,
the Tennesseeans cuptured the quarters proceed
ed TO loot the whole shebang carrying off ratfons to-
bacco pipes and everything else that did belong
to the Government"
In the winter of 1861 we engaged in
SNOWFALL battle, on hill at Chatta-
nOo9a. in which some six hundred men
engaged. Snow Notifications were erect
ed, wagons were dismantled to form
mock artillery, and the battle ragged furi-
ously for long time. 1t was rare sport,
but once in a while ssme fellow would
slyly dip a SNOWFALL in water, when the
man in front of him would generally go
down with bump on his head or black
eye. A SNOWFALL battle was right good
way to break the monotony of winter life
